HMS Surprise by Pete Coleman - Artesania Latina - 1:48th


Recommended Posts

Here is a link to my Picasa web album charting my "Super-Detailed" build of HMS Surprise.

I have attempted a compromise between all available sources of information on the subject.

I did have a build log on the original MSW site but alas it's all gone now.

 

Cheers,

Pete.

Amzingly done. Same idea I have on my mind when I think of the "Surprise" ( Have you been in my head) I thought of these in the early 2008 when I saw the movie "Master and Comander" This is very good. :cheers:

if it's too good to be true, it probably is.

Thanks for your very kind comments guys.

I have been working on my model of Surprise for three and a half years on and off...

This project is a real labour of love for me and I only work on her when I am really in the mood!

I have read through all of O'Brians "Aubrey/Maturin novels at least four times and am now on the fifth go round, (I do read other books too)!

I am trying to make a compromise representation between all the resources that I have, Admiralty drawings, Hunt/Lavery/Marquardt and even "Jotika's" model.

I am rigging her as per Marquardt/O'Brian, with the extended main mast e.t.c.

Here are a few more shots in no particular order...

Thanks for looking.

Cheers,

Pete.
